My new piece w/@Calcbench looks at two of my favorite topics - non-GAAP reporting and SEC comment letters! As predicted by @markgmaurer SEC continues issuing non-GAAP comments.
What types of non-GAAP adjustments raise red flags w/ the SEC? Long-time accounting researcher @ousvyatsky analyzes 1,900 SEC comment letters issued since ‘21 w/ at least one non-GAAP comment, provides the top citations, and shares $LYFT + $MSTR examples. calcbench.com/blog/post/7262…

Something that may be subtle to users, but not to Calcbench is that firms file #earnings (an 8K) and then file a 10Q. #DraftKings filed earnings last evening, post close, and then filed the 10Q this morning pre-open. We process both. #apple did the sa…lnkd.in/ersVWk68

Today's #earnings filing insight comes from State Street (ticker:STT). Nothing too fancy until you see that they bought back about 18 million shares in Q1 '23. $STT #buyback lnkd.in/ere7jtpe

Arguably, the litigation implications of CAMs are difficult to estimate. I am not sure how often lack of CAMs was tested in a legal setting? The impact of going concern opinion might be easier to understand by looking at post-2008 legal cases. @jeaneaglesham

Lyft's earnings release attributes the change to new non-GAAP guidance and consultation with the SEC. We observed a similar pattern with non-GAAP R&D expenses in the pharma industry. @Calcbench @retheauditors
